Milan have a new trident of Robinho, ZlatanIbrahimovic and Stephan El Shaarawy, but Lazio miss MiroslavKlose.

The biggest fixture of the evening is at the StadioOlimpico, where the pitch is in good condition and weather not as bad as in the north of Italy.

The Rossoneri are still in the middle of an injury crisis with Kevin-Prince Boateng, Alberto Aquilani, AlexandrePato, Mario Yepes, Alexander Merkel, Mathieu Flamini, Antonio Cassano, GennaroGattuso and Rodney Strasser out of action.

Coach MassimilianoAllegri has given El Shaarawy a rare start, most likely in the trequartista role behind the two strikers, although this could mutate during the game.

Thiago Silva returns in defence along with DjamelMesbah, while MassimoAmbrosini comes into the midfield.

Lazio also have issues to contend with, as Klose has not recovered in time and DjibrilCissè was sold to QPR, so TommasoRocchi is the only striker.
